Chen Chen is not the type to eat alone, so he left the rest untouched. He would take it home in the evening and add a meat dish for his family.
Xu Miaomiao also took this into consideration when making it, so the portion is very generous.
In the evening, the Chen family saw a large plate of grilled lamb chops on the table and smelled the overbearing aroma, which made them drool.
Chen Jianghe asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Didn't you help record work points today? When did you start tinkering with this?"
Wang Yan was curious at first, but when she saw her son's ears turned red, she realized what was there to understand.
She quickly turned around and elbowed her old man, "Even having something to eat can't stop you from asking so many questions!"
Chen Jianghe smiled awkwardly and sat down to eat. Didn’t he just not react?
Wang Yan took the plate and gave each family member a large piece, and gave the remaining pieces to Chen Chen.
The adults all knew what was going on with the meat, so no one said anything. The children just lowered their heads and ate it frantically.
After dinner, the family sat in the main room and chatted, while the children ran around in the yard in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Chen Jin leaned against the water tank, lazily picking his teeth. "I didn't expect Xu Zhiqing's cooking skills to be so good! The mutton is cooked without any smell of mutton, and it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."
He had an endless aftertaste for this mutton meal. The Chen family had eaten mutton before, but it was not as good as what Xu Miaomiao brought.
Wang Yan laughed when she heard this. "Who said it wasn't true? I was thinking Xu Zhiqing looked like a spoiled child and wouldn't be able to cook. I didn't expect he had such a skill. You really can't judge a person by his appearance!"
Wang Yan is now extremely satisfied with this girl and can't wait to ask her tomorrow when she can marry into the family.
Since she came, San'er's face has become lighter and he smiles more often.
Zhou Lanhua curled her lips in disdain after hearing the compliments from her family. "Isn't it just a meal of meat? You bribed them all!"
She completely forgot who was at the dinner table just now and wanted to chew and swallow the bones.
"If you ask me, there must be something wrong with Xu Zhiqing. Otherwise, why would she look for a partner in the city instead of in our countryside?"
As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent. The sister-in-law rolled her eyes. She had been eating more deliciously than anyone else just now, but now she turned around and started talking bad about others.
Wu Sanni has always looked down on Zhou Lanhua, who is always trying to take advantage of her at home. It would be fine if it was for her own family, but she has to send some things back to her parents' home.
"What are you talking about, my second sister-in-law? She's a good girl, you can't ruin her reputation for no reason!"
Zhou Lanhua was still unconvinced and retorted, "That's right. I think he might be sick. He thinks we country people are easy to fool!"
Chen Chen didn't want to argue with his sister-in-law, but after hearing what she said, his face darkened. He threw down what he was holding and turned back to the house.
Wang Yan gave her a sharp look and said, "You'd better watch your mouth. If I hear you talking nonsense outside, I'll rip your mouth off!"
She ruined the good atmosphere. Seeing that her mother-in-law and brother-in-law had returned to the house, Wu Sanni also stood up.
"Jinzhuzhu! Come back to bed!"
Lying on the kang at night, Chen Cong could hardly understand his wife's inexplicable hostility towards Xu Zhiqing.
"Wife, why do you always say bad things about Xu Zhiqing?"
Zhou Lanhua rolled her eyes at him and cursed him in her heart, "Idiot!"
"You have no brains at all. If the third brother gets married so soon, we'll have to split up the family!"
"If we split up the family, we wouldn't get a penny of the third son's allowance! Our son is about to go to school, and he'll need money for everything!"
He didn't feel angry when his wife scolded him; he was used to it. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Then why don't you let the third son get married? Isn't it just a matter of time?"
Zhou Lanhua's eyes rolled, and she thought it would be better to explain it to him clearly, so that she would have someone to help her speak up when the time comes.
"Look at how she fought with Jiang Linghua the other day. It's obvious she's not someone you can easily deal with. If she marries the third brother, we won't be able to take advantage of her in the future!"
After hearing this, Chen Cong's eyes flickered and he didn't respond, but he must have had some thoughts in his mind.
At this time, the eldest daughter of the Chen family next door was also not asleep.
"Wife, what do you think the second brother's words today mean?"
Wu Sanni sneered. What do you mean? My little thoughts, these careless men can't see through them.
But she and Zhou Lanhua have been sisters-in-law for so many years. To put it bluntly, as soon as she sticks out her butt, she knows what kind of shit she is pulling!
Thinking that her husband is simple and honest, she hopes he will be deceived by the second son's family and used as a tool. Otherwise, her mother-in-law and the third son will be angry.
"Let me ask you, has the Third Brother's allowance been given to our mother over the years?"
"Yes." Chen Jin didn't understand what his wife meant. What did this have to do with the second brother's family?
Wu Sanni sighed helplessly. On the one hand, she thought he was too stupid, but on the other hand, she felt that she was attracted by his honesty.
"Ever since the third son joined the army, all his allowances have been sent back home. That's why we were able to build a big tiled house in the past few years, and our family can have enough food and warm clothes."
"Tell me about it yourself. If it weren't for the third brother, you and the second brother would have a hard time earning enough work points to support the family. What else would you do?"
Chen Jin scratched his head embarrassedly, "Well, the third brother has suffered a lot these years. What does that have to do with the second brother's family?"
Wu Sanni was too tired to complain, so she just broke it down to pieces with him.
